Nice photos ! That's one pray bird I haven't see n here all winter is our Turkey Vultures they look just like these ones in your photos ! Which is weird cause for years they were feeding and circling the valley and fields here . I hear you lol the many times I have had them over head and told them I ain't dead yet guys move on lol ! Thanks for sharing . It is nice and sunny here too has been every day so far and I love it ! Have a good day !

Not until I went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, did I know how important buzzards and vultures are to the over-all scheme of things in nature. Obviously us humans are not going to go around eating dead squishy varments on the roads...unless it is fresh roadkill of a certain variety (pheasant). I know people that have done this! I love your guineas. Are those the only two left?

Yes, Turkey Buzzards are one of the creepier signs that Spring is about to arrive (I guess the buzzards think it has already arrived or they wouldn't have come north again). We have them everywhere in Oregon too. They sure keep the roadkill & pastures cleaned up though, so I can appreciate their unusual skill set as well as their less than charming looks, I don;t think I have ever seen that many gathered in such a small area or sitting on rooftops like in your photos. Be careful out there on the ice. You don't want them looking at you like you are a potential snack or entree,

We welcome your questions and comments. Questions very often become the subject of a later blog post....so keep those questions coming!! I read each and every comment...they are often the highlight of my day! Thanks for stopping by and visiting with us.....

Handmade wares from the farm...aprons, knitwear, jewelry and more...

Welcome to Bee Haven Acres! This 200+ year old log house is the landmark that distinguishes our farm as you drive down the road. It was inhabited until the mid 1960's. We have had some rennovation done to it in the past few years. No one inhabits it any longer. Its basement is a springhouse that at one time served as drinking water for its occupants. There is always plenty happening at Bee Haven Acres....come see!

Bee Haven Acres

We are a small family owned and operated farm located in beautiful Central Pennsylvania, midway between Harrisburg and State College. We practice organic farming and strive to live harmoniously with nature. We lovingly grow our own produce, blueberries, apples, honey, gourmet eggs and adorable goats. We consume much of what we produce but also allocate a bit each year to share with others. We often have surplus honey, eggs and produce for sale. We hope to be able to market some of our farm fresh products from this site in the near future. Please visit with us often.....we have many stories to share with you!
